Wow just tried the latest nico edit and boy its came a long way.
One thing I would like to see in it is tabs, and when drag a new document to the gui it opens the file in a new tab, eg drag 5 files and have 5 tabs.
after that it could be a geany replacement and not just a leafpad replacement, very close, nice size also right now I'm using teagtk the pet is around 140kb and has highlight, line numbers, and drag and drop for tabs. Really thats all I use, I don't need fancy compiling in a editor etc. Geany just getting too bloated.
Oh I see you can export as pdf, hmmm maybe consider images? If you could add images and move them around, It would make a perfect pdf ebook creator. Just some ideas

Ttuuxxx,
Regarding tabs, I was thinking that too, but then I started playing with the History menu, and that works surprisingly well.

The problem with tabs is I often have several documents open, so have to scroll the tabs, which makes the whole thing somewhat inefficient.

However with the History menu I can flip between documents. However, what spoils that is it doesn't remember the last position. If it did, that would make it very easy to work with a large number of documents.

So, Nicolas, if you read this, my number one request is for the History menu to remember the last position of the window and the cursor position of each previously-opened file!_________________http://bkhome.org/news/

Hi Barry I don't know if you ever tried Teagtk, but it does have a nice menu under file, Like recent documents, bookmarks, sessions, templates, etc and like I mentioned its really small compared to Geany about 1/4 the size. and once you setup the basic configures like I did in my last package its pretty good.

Playing around with the history is a good alternative way of getting around the tab issue, but for a person like myself I think the most tabs I ever need open at once is about 4, Firefox is different sometimes I have like 50 tabs open at once, lol
I would be happy to replace Geany with nicoedit if it had tabs.

I would like to use id3lib (http://id3lib.sourceforge.net/) in a vala program I'm planing to make. It's a c++ library that can be called from plain old C so it should work without much trouble. The problem is, I have no idea how to make the vapi file. Everything I found via google (which wasn't much) was for glib libraries and used glib only autogeneration. Any hints?

I seem to recall there was some discussion on the Vala mail-list recently, someone asked that same question. Find the archive of the Vala mail-list ...I don't know the url offhand._________________http://bkhome.org/news/

does anyone have it compiled ? I don't have python in 2.20, but the rest of the vala deps are install.

Yep! Just compiled it and it seems ok, word wrap and fullscreen working . Thankyou Nicolas!

One, point, I followed the bk_compile routine and the .pet package created has a bug. The structure is correct of course but the parent dir needs to be "nicoedit-x.x" and that will become the name of the .pet.

Hi guys, I haven't really looked at Vala yet, but I'm wondering - does anyone have any idea how hard it would be to convert a simple-ish gtk program from c to vala? And how much easier do you think it would be to learn vala than C? Is Vala:
0. No easier than C
1. A little easier than C
2. Quite a bit easier than C
3. A lot easier than C
4. So much easier than C that there's no comparison.

Any thoughts?_________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here
